Abstract: A compositing apparatus arranged to provide a compositing surface to be used in digital filming, recoding or photographing a subject against the compositing surface, that is easy to setup and is collapsible such that the compositing apparatus can be easily assembled by a single individual. The compositing apparatus comprises a base structure including a first and second support portion, a first and second base extension, and a hinge, wherein the first and second support portions are coupled to the respective base extension and the hinge. At least one rod is removably coupled to the base structure and received by a screen, wherein the screen is adapted to exert a force on the at least one rod causing the at least one rod to exert a force onto said hinge in order to lock the first and second support portions.
